When a complete arch of teeth is missing, or when few natural teeth remain, All-on-4 is one option for their replacement. The technique can require as few as four dental implants to hold a non-removable teeth bridge in position. Sometimes, we use more dental implants for increased strength and stability, but the overall technique remains the same. If you are considering All-on-4 Dental Implants, visit our implant dentists in Bergen County, Essex County, Morris County, and Middlesex County to learn more about revolutionary full arch replacement solutions.
What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are a type of dental implant that uses four implants to support a replacement arch of teeth. This is in contrast to conventional implant procedures, which may require anywhere from six to ten single dental implants.
How All-on-4 Dental Implants Work
All-on-4 dental implants are placed towards the front of the jawbone. Two implants are placed vertically, right in the front of the jawbone, and are flanked by the two remaining dental implants. However, these implants are tilted backward at an angle instead of being inserted vertically.
Angling these implants allows dentists to use longer dental implant screws than normal, increasing the amount of bone in contact with these implants and providing greater strength and stability. Placing all four dental implants toward the front of the jaw is preferable as the jawbone is naturally thicker and stronger here and more able to support the implants without additional procedures like bone grafting.
All-on-4 dental implants are a viable option for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth. They offer a number of benefits over conventional implant procedures, including fewer implants, less invasive surgery, and a more affordable price.
Who Can Choose All-on-4?
Treatment can be useful for anyone missing a complete arch of teeth and who does not wish to have a removable denture. It can help people who recently lost teeth or whose natural teeth are failing, as well as those who lost teeth years ago and have found it increasingly difficult to wear a conventional denture that rests on the gums.
Because of how the implants are situated, the need for bone grafting is greatly reduced or eliminated, so treatment is ideal for anyone unable or unsuitable for bone grafting or who does not wish to have the oral surgery required for a bone graft.
Using just four dental implants increases the affordability of treatment, especially when no bone grafting is needed. It can be a good treatment to investigate, particularly if you previously thought dental implants were too expensive.
A set of teeth that remain firmly in place can significantly increase biting and chewing strength. When you can bite and chew food more confidently and firmly, it increases food choices. The ability to eat a wider range of foods helps to ensure meals are more enjoyable. With the right food choices, overall nutrition can improve. When well nourished, your body can fight disease and infection more easily.
All-on-Four can be suitable for people with medical conditions like well-controlled diabetes or osteoporosis. If you were previously told you were unsuitable for conventional dental implant treatment, All on Four may provide a suitable solution so you can receive implant teeth that look and feel good and are strong and stable.
